Why Do Objects Move Outward When Driving in a Circle?

    Acceleration
Click For Summary
When driving in a circle, objects inside the car appear to be drawn outward due to their inertia, as they naturally tend to move in a straight line. The acceleration experienced is directed toward the center of the circle, which is necessary to maintain circular motion. Passengers feel a force pushing them outward, but this sensation is a result of their bodies resisting the inward acceleration. Observing from outside, it’s clear that objects, like a motorcyclist who falls off, continue in a straight line rather than moving outward. Ultimately, the perception of outward movement is a misunderstanding of the forces at play during circular motion.

What i am wondering if driving in a circle if the mass of the object moving, why is it drawn outward because the current acceleration is in forward motion?

When you drive in a circle, there will be a component of acceleration towards the center of the circle (otherwise you'd keep going in a straight line). Remember that acceleration doesn't just mean a change in speed--a change in direction is also an acceleration.

From inside the car it feels like you are being pulled outward, just like it feels like you are being pushed backwards when you floor the gas pedal.

Well it isn't drawn outward at all. Everything inside the car is just trying to move in a dead straight line. Objects don't like to go in circles at all, they like straight lines.
It's the first law of mechanics, a very simple fact, beautiful, and first noticed by guys like Galileo 500 years ago.

Watching a car from the pavement: the passengers always look like they just want to go straight rather than be carried with the car into the corner.

If a motorcyclist falls off his bike in mid-corner, he moves in a dead straight line into the sand trap. He certainly doesn't move outward.

So, it's not trying to move outward at all, what it's really trying to do is move in a perfect straight line whilst the car is moving inward.

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
